At the request of the prosecution and with the apparent consent of the defense, the scheduled status conference before Magistrate Judge Vera Scanlon was canceled.
The letter filed with the court, from Assistant US Attorneys Moira Penza and Tanya Hajjar, reads as follows
Dear Judge Scanlon:
The Court initially set today’s status conference as a control date to address, if necessary, issues that were raised by certain defendants at the end of last Thursday’s status conference. Since that conference the parties have been working productively to address and resolve those issues. The parties jointly agree that in light of the progress that has been made, a conference today is not necessary unless there are other issues the Court wishes to address.
***
The Magistrate agreed to cancel the hearing. The following was recorded on the docket:
Full docket text:
ORDER: Based on the letter at [156], today’s conference is cancelled. By noon tomorrow (10/3/2018), the Parties should file a letter with their proposed schedule for discovery and motion practice. If there are any issues on which the Parties do not agree, they should state their respective positions in the letter. Counsel should be available for a Telephone Conference with Magistrate Judge Scanlon at 5:00 PM tomorrow. (Call-in #: 877-336-1829; Participant Code: 3581283). If, after reviewing the Parties’ letter, the Court determines that the Telephone Conference is unnecessary, it will be cancelled. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Vera M. Scanlon on 10/2/2018.

As I reported earlier, there has been considerable discussion and some disputes over the production of discovery and it would seem that some progress is being made.
There is a status conference before Judge Nicholas Garaufis on October 4, presently scheduled.
At that point, we can expect some interesting updates on the status of the case. There may be more to report on possible superseding indictments.

Please leave a comment: Your opinion is important to us!
I lived near keith and Alison mack I saw it all
I agree that Shadows comments are relevant. Every last one of you who call names and spew vile should go somewhere else. I’m tired of having to skip your posts to read something worth while.
Thank you.
I try to limit my comments to NXIVM and its leaders, and I try not to attack other comments unless they attack me first.
Since everyone has the participation code, it might be possible to join in on the conference call.
LOL I wondered if anyone else was going to notice that.
It’s clear to me that the prosecution is scrambling and the defense is laying them out in lavender. Just wait and when Keith gets out there will be punishment for MR. Frank Parlato. YES! Yes. A
Now there’s an empty threat!
Yeah, the prosecution is scrambling to get through a stadium worth of evidence so that the trial can take place some time this decade or at least before the defendants die of lavender scented old age.
“It’s clear to me that the prosecution is scrambling”
The only thing that is scrambled are the brains of the people still supporting Raniere.
If this case ended today Keith still lost, 6 months worth of humiliation in jail and all that Bronfman money slipping through all those attorneys slimey fingers. The whole world sees him for the fraud he is and even Clare can’t possibly be dumb enough to let him have access to what is left of her fortune.
I’m sure Frank is really worried!
But only a brainwashed fool thinks the defense is in control here. Get some help it’s not to late to save your soul.
I usually agree with you, but have to disagree on this one. I think Clare would give him every last dime, and she really is that dumb, and between the two of them, they really do believe they are in control.
Arent you the self proclaimed pretty girl?
Are you blond too? Because you sure sound like a dumb blond bitch.
You think you’re a fucking mindreader or that you have some amazing and special insights because you took.a class??
Twat.
I hope your life gets better so you can improuve your behaviour. Have a great evening !
I dont need to IMPROUVE my behavior, you retarded twat.
You need to IMPROUVE your spelling skills.
And your lying ability.
Twit twat.
Tick tock.
Motherfuckers.
Retarded much? – Totally agree.
Jmho, but if we wanted the Vantard to shed some real tears, this woman should get into prison scrubs and declare herself his cellmate.
Forgive me, but what an unnecessary and unproductive comment. These people are on the side of justice (our side) and read this blog.
Please post a recent picture of yourself.
Keith’s already shedding tears aplenty over the fact that only Clare Bronfman still cares or dares to even look at him at hearings. If Clare is all that’s left of his harem, he might rather stay in prison.
As the DOJ examines the digital files expect two or three waves of new indictments with an avalanche of new charges.
Sara and Emiliano, break out your fire proof underwear.
Thank you for your usual inane and pointless “insights”.
This evening, while watching the news, they ran a story on the tsunami that hit Indonesia. They showed the completely decimated coastline, where thousands of homes and businesses once stood.
The newscaster actually said “It appears that the homes were not built to withstand the forces of an earthquake and a tsunami”.
This made me think of you.
It is exactly the type of “Duh, Captain Obvious” crap you post here on a daily (usu. hourly) basis. Do you ever actually have any original thoughts, or do you just enjoy repeating what other people say?
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out,
and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for
thee that one of thy members should perish, and
not that thy whole body should be cast into hell
Matthew 5:29
I think Shadow has offered up a lot of original and insightful thoughts. His reminding us of the consequences of RICO, for example. I would much rather read his comments than the childish, vile name calling that can go on here.
@OCD I totally agree with you. I enjoy reading his comments and feel I’ve learned quite a bit from his comments.
Thank you Shelby.
Thank you Shelby
I agree, despite some offensive comments made by many different people, everyone has the right to post their opinions. Their are no Teslas here But the point is those that post have a serious interest/ stake in the outcome
At one time or another we all post something that offends another, sometimes it’s intentional but mostly it’s just a difference of opinion.
Agreed. Shadow has his annoying moments, but plenty of good comments, and overall contributes far more than the people who engage in name-calling.
It’s odd that you spend so much time thinking about Shadow State and considering what he may say.
Like…who cares what he might say? You don’t know him, and his comments are not about you. Why does it matter to you?
I think its funny that a libtard dumbass like you jumps into conversations that dont even concern you. Have a frothy glass of shut the fuck up, bitch; nobody was talking to you. P
Your comment to Flowers is rude and sexist and demonstrates the bankruptcy of your ideas.
You must b e a NXIVM troll.
Shadowstate’s comments are intended for everyone reading this site who is interested in his information. Not interested? Skip over it.
But you are so childish and mentally unbalanced that you continually write posts insulting people for no reason.
Flowers is doing her best, let’s give her a chance.
Heather….dont bother with your little insults. They dont bother me, considering who they are coming from.
Uncalled for. Please go away. There are people here who want to dialog and share information, as opposed to third grade-style name calling. You (and the likes of you) simply drain energy. Go punch a wall or something if you need to.
Flowers:
Thank you for your support.
Flower:
Thank you for your support.
Wait until you praise President Trump and then watch the flower pot support you.
